This biography of a living person of a cartoonist has no footnotes, and footnotes are required for biographies of living persons. It does not qualify for proposed deletion of BLPs because it has external links. They have been checked, and they do not contain significant coverage by independent sources. Two of them appear to be listings of his works, which do not verify basic information.

Reference Number	Reference	Comments	Independent	Significant	Reliable	Secondary
1	www.comics.org	A listing of all of his comic books	Yes	No	Yes	No
2	stekart.blogspot.com	Doesn't appear to mention him, but may be his blog	No	No	?	No
3	comicbookdb.com	Aooears to be another listing of his comics	Yes	No	Yes	No

This article has been tagged as needing better references since 2008. The Heymann criterion will be three independent reliable sources verifying basic biographical information and providing significant coverage. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:52, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - doesn't appear in the kinds of independent RS that we need. Or at least I don't see them. JMWt (talk) 06:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm undecided. His work is prolific and highly successful, he seems to be a valued guest at festivals, but finding sources is hard. I found this: [1] which although cast partly as an interview is an extended in-depth piece by a named author, though I have no idea how we rate the source.

Delete purely due to the lack of independent biographical sources. We shouldn't blaze the trail in writing biographies of living people, there have been too many problems caused by this. Guy (help! - typo?) 15:00, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Responding to talk page ping. In my searches for sources, the sources I found largely were passing mentions in book reviews that mention he illustrated the book (example from Publishers Weekly and example from Booklist) or were about a different person with the same name, a finance professor at Bocconi University. (example). Cunard (talk) 00:19, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
